Instability of Sleep Patterns in Children With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Abstract
Objective To compare the stability of the sleep-wake system of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and controls by objective and subjective measures.Method Thirty-eight school-age boys with diagnosed ADHD and 64 control school-age boys were examined using actigraphic monitoring and sleep diaries, over 5 consecutive nights.Results Increased instability in sleep onset, sleep duration, and true sleep were found in the ADHD group compared with the control group. Discriminant analysis revealed that children's classification (ADHD versus control) could be significantly predicted on the basis of their sleep measures.Conclusions The findings support the hypothesis that instability of the sleep-wake system is a characteristic of children with ADHD. Given the potential negative effects of disturbed or unstable sleep on daytime functioning, it is recommended that a thorough sleep assessment be conducted when a sleep disturbance is suspected or when symptoms associated with daytime sleepiness or decreased arousal level are present.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
